Growing City

Economic growth and city building are intrinsically entwined; investors and companies are confident that when they come to Toronto not only will their basic needs be met, but they will also be able to capitalize on the people and the infrastructure here in order to maximize their investment.Jennifer Keesmaat, former Chief Planner, City of Toronto

There is no question that construction, a key indicator of economic vitality, is booming in Toronto. The city is also benefiting from a surge of investment in public infrastructure and transit to meet the needs of this rapidly expanding region.

The LEED Gold-designated Southcore Financial Centre has recently increased premium office space in downtown Toronto by 1.4 million square feet. In the past 40 years, Toronto’s downtown population doubled and one-third of all jobs in the city are now within the core.

City Planning works with communities to create a green, liveable city that fosters creativity and opportunity.
